Real situations. Tap an answer, see what happens. (Teens edition)
You are Hassan, 17, from Faisalabad. A girl you met on Instagram persuaded you to share a private photo. Now she is demanding PKR 25,000 via JazzCash, threatening to post the picture in your college WhatsApp group and send it to your family. You are panicking and feel ashamed. Your hands are shaking as you stare at your phone. What do you do right now?
💡 Sextortionists count on fear and shame to keep victims silent. Never pay, never delete evidence, and never engage further. The safest habit is to screenshot everything, block the blackmailer on every platform, tell a trusted adult, and report the case to NCCIA so trained officers can act and protect you.
You are 15 in Islamabad and manage a small cricket-fan Instagram page. A profile claiming to be a Pakistani cricketer's manager DMs you, praising your content and offering a brand collaboration. They want your WhatsApp number and a screenshot of your ID to "verify your age" for the contract. The offer feels unreal. What is the smartest next step?
💡 Impersonator DMs exploit excitement, flattery, and fear of missing out. Never send ID photos or personal numbers to unverified accounts. Check the blue tick on the real page, run a quick reverse-image search, and report impersonation to NCCIA so the fake profile gets investigated promptly.
You are 17 in Karachi scrolling Instagram when a profile named "Karachi Talent Hub" DMs you. They say you can earn Rs. 2,500 per hour doing simple product reviews, and you only need to rate YouTube videos for two hours daily. They ask you to reply quickly because slots are limited today. You have never had a job before. What should you do before responding?
💡 Real employers never DM strangers with high hourly pay and zero experience required, and they never rush you. Always verify the company independently, never share CNIC or bank details, and report suspicious offers to NCCIA so investigators can trace the scammers. A pause today saves your future.
You are 16 and living in Lahore. A classmate you trusted asks you to share a private photo, then sends back a blurred screenshot and demands Rs. 15,000 via JazzCash, or they will share it in your family WhatsApp group. Your hands are shaking. The message includes a 6-hour deadline. You have never dealt with anything like this before. What is your very first move right now?
💡 Sextortion thrives on panic and silence. The right move is to stop engaging, preserve every screenshot as evidence, tell a trusted adult right away, and report the account through NCCIA so professionals can intervene. Paying or deleting proof only gives the blackmailer more control over you.
You are 15, studying in a Faisalabad school. Yesterday you vented about your maths teacher Ayesha Miss in a class WhatsApp group of 80 students. Today the admin forwards screenshots to the principal, calling it 'cyberbullying of a teacher.' Your classmates are spamming 'snitch' stickers and a cousin messages saying the school is planning a suspension hearing. No one has directly messaged you yet. What is your single best move right now?
💡 Anything you type in a WhatsApp group can be screenshotted, forwarded, and judged. Reacting defensively or going silent usually makes things worse, while owning your words calmly shows maturity. Tell your parents, write a respectful apology, and save your own full-chat screenshots in case anyone edits them later, because NCCIA and courts rely on evidence, not rumours.
You are 17 in Karachi and finishing homework. An Instagram DM from 'Hassan Khan Official' says: like 10 YouTube videos, rate hotels on Google, earn Rs 500 each. Yesterday your cousin earned Rs 1,500, she sent a screenshot to the family WhatsApp. Today they ask you to deposit Rs 4,800 as a 'refundable security deposit' on a JazzCash number before withdrawals unlock. You are tempted because new textbooks cost Rs 8,000. What do you do?
💡 Genuine jobs pay you, they never ask you to pay. Any 'paid task' scheme that demands a security deposit, training fee, or VIP unlock through JazzCash or EasyPaisa is a scam. Real employers do not recruit via random Instagram DMs. Screenshot, block, and report to NCCIA, then warn your peers before they get trapped.
You are 16, living in Lahore. A stranger you added on Instagram has private photos of you that you shared in a panic after their fake 'girlfriend' act. Now they demand Rs 30,000 via JazzCash or they will send the images to your family WhatsApp groups and your school friends. You did not pay yet and feel sick with worry. Your father is asleep and your mother keeps asking why you look upset. What is your single best next move?
💡 If someone threatens to leak a private photo, never pay, never negotiate, and never stay silent. Tell a trusted family member or mentor right away, then report the account and all chats on the NCCIA cybercrime portal. Screenshot evidence first, then block. You did nothing shameful, and quick reporting is what stops the spread.
You are Bilal in Islamabad. A classmate, Hira, accepted your friend request last week. She DMs you late at night asking for Rs. 15,000 to help her sick mother and promises to pay back Friday. You want to be kind, but something feels off: her grammar changed, she avoids voice notes, and her story profile picture is a stock model. School starts tomorrow.
💡 Compassion is good, but catfishers hijack good feelings. Always verify requests for money through a channel you trust, like a saved phone number. Warn the real person, report the fake profile, and escalate repeat fraud to NCCIA helpline 9911.
You are Ayesha, a 17-year-old from Karachi scrolling Instagram. A profile named 'Easy Earning PK' DMs you offering paid tasks: like videos and rate hotels for Rs. 500 per task. Your first Rs. 1,500 already arrived in EasyPaisa. Now they ask you to send Rs. 8,000 upfront to unlock a bigger payout tier. They sound professional and have a styled page.
💡 Paid-task DMs are a classic teen job scam. A small payout first is bait, not proof. Legit employers never ask workers to send money to receive money. Block, report the account on Instagram, and report serious cases to NCCIA through 9911.
You are Hassan from Lahore. A stranger on WhatsApp says they have a private photo of you and will send it to your family in Multan unless you pay Rs. 25,000 through JazzCash in one hour. Your hands are shaking and the messages keep coming. You have not shared any photo, but the threat feels real. You need to act now before anything happens.
💡 Sextortionists rely on panic and quick payment. Never pay, never negotiate, and never delete evidence. Screenshot the chats, block the account, and immediately report to the NCCIA helpline 9911. Tell a trusted adult. Paying once does not stop the demand.
After months of being bullied, you finally have support and want to help other kids who are targeted.
💡 Your experience can become a strength. Supporting others, speaking up against bullying, and being kind turns your pain into purpose. Healing grows when you help others heal too.
Your friends pressure you to send a cruel message to a classmate, saying you are a coward if you refuse.
💡 Sending cruel messages is cyberbullying, and refusing is real courage. Say no firmly, encourage your friends to be kind instead, and tell an adult if the pressure continues.
An entire class group chat turned against one student, flooding him with cruel messages all night.
💡 When a whole group bullies one person, the harm is severe. Leave the chat, message the target privately with support, save evidence, and tell a trusted adult and the school immediately.
Students created a page dedicated to mocking a teacher with edited photos and cruel posts.
💡 Mocking teachers online is cyberbullying that disrespects educators and can get students suspended. Do not follow or share the page, report it, and tell a trusted adult. Respect matters for everyone.
The AI plays the other side — the scammer, the blackmailer, the "CEO". You practice refusing.

Do / don't lists — screenshot the ones you need.
Scammed, threatened, blackmailed or hacked? Work top to bottom. Do not pay, do not delete.
Paying a blackmailer never ends it. Replying teaches the scammer you respond. Deleting chats destroys your own evidence. Take a breath and move to step 2.
Screenshot everything with the sender's number/username and time visible: chats, calls list, SMS, transaction receipts, URLs. Export the WhatsApp chat (Settings → Chats → Export). Write down amounts, dates and the number used.
Money sent? Call your bank or JazzCash/EasyPaisa helpline immediately (number on the back of your card / the official app) and ask them to block the card, freeze the account and recall the transfer. Note the complaint number they give you.
NCCIA (National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency) is Pakistan's cybercrime agency. File a complaint on the official NCCIA complaint portal or visit your nearest cybercrime circle — bring your CNIC and the evidence from step 2. You can also call the cybercrime helpline 1991.
From a different (clean) device, change the password of the hacked account first, then everywhere you reused it. Turn on two-step verification (WhatsApp, email, bank apps). Check active login sessions and kick out unknown devices.
Shame belongs to the scammer, not you. Tell a parent, spouse, friend or teacher — they can help you complete the steps and speak to NCCIA with you. For women and children, the Madadgar national helpline 1121 also guides you.
Helpline numbers and complaint links can change — verify on the official NCCIA and PTA websites before sharing.
